Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her heavy displacement on a narrow beam gives 37 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.
At 1.64 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.
301 — heavy for her waterline, built to carry stores and ride steadily.
12.8 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.
35% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.
- Heavier than ~75% of boats her size on file
- Draws less than ~92% of boats her size on file
Compared with 2968 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
